Caps lose 7-6
-
Is it just me, or has there been a lot of turnover among the officials in the last few years?
-
As far as I can tell...the only thing to route for in this game is Ovi getting to #40 on the season.
-
Yep, PP to PK ratio looks good. Get Ovi 1 or 2 and call it a day!
-
Mantha in, Protas out. Makes no sense. Maybe they are hoping Mantha can score a few here at the end and get his value up enough so it only costs us a second round pick to get rid of him.
Would still like to see Protas in the lineup even if one of our veterans has to sit out every now and then.
-
Evening all. :wackysmile:
On time, finally. :P
-
What's all this blithering and blustering about?
I can see it has to do with Ovi, but I still have no sound......

GOAT getting awarded for passing Howe, Lil.

There was a big recruitment drive a few years ago, I believe and lots of hoo ha about the "old Guard " and their set in their ways mentality and bias towards, or against certain teams and not just us.
There are still a few left, but they are going.... gradually.
-
Ovi's gotta turn up tonight after all that messing around. Doesn't he?
-
Strome didn't touch it.. :raspberry: :cross:
-
Protas is in, NAK is out..
and that might be OVs goal
-
Diid Strome touch it?

the local professional basketball team is also playing tonight, maybe try a different link

Guess my technicals didn't want me to see that goal let in. :raspberry:
-
Guess somebody gotta be leading by 2 after 1. Might as well be us for a change.
-
Really good first period, in spite of that little glitch towards the end.
Lots of hustle. Liking this so far. :uh-huh:

That was sickening. The more we fannied about with the puck playing tick tack toe, the more I knew it would bite us in the arse.
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.
:headbang: :bad:
-
Night peeps. :(
-
Nighty night. See if I can stomach another one on Thursday..
-
That was exciting…
To watch the Caps crap the bed after a dominant 1st
Not all his fault but some of that is on Lindy. He just goes down way too early and plays small. The top of the net is open way too often. He didn’t get much help but FFS you got to control a rebound now and then and sure as fuck cover the top third of the net on occasion.
I was a little worried about the young legs vs the old farts as the Caps let them back in but i honestly thought we had this one
What was Lindy’s GAA, like .75 or some shit
Oh…and Mantha will NEVER score another goal. EVER
-
Yea, D sucked, G sucked, and Mantha scored like 11 days ago, so he's probably done for the season.
-
I said recently that I thought the defense was rounding into shape. I take it back. I think I'd rather have Vanacek and Samsonov back, too. If you look up "dumpster fire" it'll say "See Washington Capitals". :snicker:
-
I blame the goalie coach. I said as soon as we traded them away he'd break whoever we got, and sure enough as the season goes, so declines the goalies.. D sucks too, but it's sucked all year. lol
-
You know a bad performance and lucky bounces are going to come now and then, but...
I just realized...this was against COLUMBUS! Not that any team in the NHL can't beat another, but Columbus is the most anemic scoring team in the entire league with the exception of Chicago.
7 goals on 39 shots including OT is a .82 save percentage, which is horrific.
Any one of the goals on its own wasn't terrible (okay, one was bad IMO), but put them all together and this is a bad goalie performance
G1 - comes of a scrum in front and gets batted 5-hole - not blaming the goalie, but close em up.
G2 - bad angle shot from nearly the goal line and over the shoulder....this one I want back and I think is a good example of Lindy's weakness....he goes down so low to try and block crease passes that way too much net is exposed. I see this game in and game out, and I can only imagine what professionals see in scouting him.
G3 - PPG, but a leaky one through the pads. Not really faulting this one, but it would be nice to stop it
G4 - down the wing and over the shoulder - Lindy like a midget in net. Bad goal
G5 - great cross ice pass so goalie was moving, but again, over the shoulder and in the net
G6 - Pass across the crease off the d-man right to a waiting Bluejacket - just a lucky bounce
G7 - OT goals was 2 on 1 breakaway nicely played by Jackets so left Lindy hanging out to dry. And Oshie made absolutely dumb pass that gave them the 2 on 1.
I don't expect Lindy (or anyone) to stop the OT winner 9/10 times so I don't blame him. We dicked around with the puck for so long in OT like we were waiting for time to run out. Frustrating to throw this game away.
Bad D is a team problem and seven goals allowed is not all on the goalie, but his job is to stop the puck...sometimes when everything else fails. That just didn't happen enough.
This was a total team let down, and not blaming Lindy for the loss, but he failed as badly as anyone tonight, and it's the goalies job to save your bacon now and then.
I went back and looked it up...Columbus has scored 6 goals three times (twice in OT) this season. Seven was the most they have scored this year.
They have scored 5 goals six times this year
Give Fucale the next start. Season is over anyway. Fuckers
